Hey,here is the Answer to ur question....
Given: Angel BAC=BOA=90 degrees
BO= 9
OC=7
AO=y
To find: value of y
Solution: In triangle BAC and triangle BOA ,we have,
Angle BAC=angel AOB
Angle B= Angle B (Angle B common in both triangles).
=>triangle BAC similar to triangle BOA ( A.A criterion rule )
=>BA/BO=AC/OA=BC/BA
=>BA/BO=BC/BA
=>(BA)^2=BC*BO
=>(BA)^2=16*9
=>(BA)^2=144
=>BA= root of 144
=>BA=12
So by Pythagoras theorem;
(AB)^2=(BO)^2+(AO)^2
(12)^2=(9)^2+(y)^2
144=81+y^2
144-81=y^2
63=y^2
3root7=y
Hope this helps you......

Given:
The data points are:
(1, 0), (2, 3), (3,1), (4,4), (5,5)
To find:
The equation of best fit line in the form of and then find the value of b.
Solution:
The general form of best fit line is:
...(i)
Where, m is the slope of best fit line and b is the y-intercept of the line.
Using the graphing calculator, we get the equation for the best fit line and the equation is
...(ii)
On comparing (i) and (ii), we get
Therefore, the value of b is equal to -0.7.
